SCM Configuration

Rhythm's default Atlas Hub configuration automatically uses StarTeam as its SCM tool. This SCM configuration allows you to perform Code Reviews, pairing Rhythm Stories/Tasks with your StarTeam check-ins.

Rhythm supports the following SCM systems:

StarTeam
Dimensions CM
Git

Important: If you are using Git or Dimensions CM, you will need to create and configure a new SCM Configuration.

If you are already using StarTeam, you can start creating and collaborating in Code Reviews immediately. Here's what you will do:

In StarTeam

Continue your existing SCM practices (using StarTeam Views).
As part of your StarTeam commit, select an existing Rhythm Story as a Process Item. This associates the Story with the specific commit.

In Rhythm

Open the Story. Click Actions > Create Review and a Code Review icon will be under the Story.
Invite team members to review your changes.
See Code Reviews that you are involved with as the Author, Reviewer, or Watcher.
Mark up and comment your reviews, automatically sending suggestions to the owner.
Accept or reject the code reviews.
